Sure, now you come up with a good one. I just finished my presentation not
10 minutes ago and uploaded it to my server at school. :-) I'll try to
remember to mention your's at school tomorrow, Jay.

If anyone's interested, I posted the PDF at
http://www.isd197.org/curriculum/staffdev/internet_from_30000/
(Warning: It's 635 kB. I've noticed that ps2pdf creates a larger PDF file
than distiller.)

I don't know if it will seem entirely coherent without the accompanying
discussion, but you may find it interesting. I'm planning to create a more
in-depth online version of the talk with lots more links to other resources.
